Marshall's office-lab. Sloane walks up. Marshall's working on
something.
Sloane: Marshall.
Marshall: (stands up) Mr. Sloane. Hey. Sorry. You know the classics.
(referring to what he's working on) Never go out of style.
Sloane: A test tube was sent to forensics for analysis. Did you
authorize that?
Marshall: Yes. Yes I did, uuuuh. Is that a problem, ooooor-
Sloane: There's no problem. Just a curiosity. It's indicated that
the blood sample was one of Dr. Vlachko's test subjects. I thought we
already analyzed those. Am I missing something, Marshall?
Marshall: Uh, y'know what? I haven't been getting a lot of sleep
lately. Mitchell's got an ear infection (points to his own ear) and I
probably just forgot to send it in. (points to Sloane) Sorry. Sorry
about that. (turns around and starts working on something) Did the
results come back?
Sloane: It's nothing we didn't already know. The subject was
suffering from a large scale genetic mutation. However, Marshall, I
want you to know, (Marshall looks at him) There are protocols in this
office. I'm sure your failure to notify me of this submission is also
do to your lack of sleep, yes?
Marshall: Yes, it probably was. I'm very tired, and I'm not. . .

Inside warehouse. Vaughn, Roberts, Sabine, Gregor, Jan sit around a
table looking at plans.
Gregor: Why complicate our life? We could get on and off without the
transport even knowing they were hit.
Roberts: That item we want is extremely delicate. I mean, we can't
risk the transfer in a moving vehicle.
Gregor: I thought you said we were stealing an instruction manual?
Roberts: We are. A very old one. Written by an inventor in the
fifteenth century. You breathe on it wrong and it will crumble.
Jan: Seems like a lot of trouble for an old book.
Roberts: It's valuable to my employer, so then it's valuable to us.
Okay, it's gonna be a 2-car caravan. (points to drawings on a
dry-erase board) The lead car's going to be the armored transport.
It'll be leaving the depot at midnight tonight traveling along this
route.
Vaughn: We're hitting a CIA convoy.
Roberts: That's right.
Vaughn: So this is why you needed me.
@@@
Walking outside. Vaughn and Roberts.
Vaughn: From the moment you contacted me, you knew you'd need the
bypass, Even if I had given you the coil-
Roberts: We'd have never told you where your father is. That's
right. Guess that makes us bad people, huh? Nothing's changed though,
you still want answers.
Vaughn: You son of a b****.
Roberts: You know, by the way, you should be thanking me. You should be
grateful.
Vaughn: Thanking you for what?
Roberts: For tracking your father down. Let me tell you something. That
wasn't know small feat. Your father's been hiding for the past-
Vaughn: You're asking me to betray my agency.
Roberts: Well. l I fell really bad about that, you know what? I'll
say an extra hail Mary tonight before I go to bed.
Vaughn: If I do this, I can't go back.
Roberts: (laughs) That has a certain poetry to it, doesn't it? Like
father, like son. Me? I came this far, I'd have crossed the finish
line. But like I say, I'm a bad guy. Oh, guess what? Your dad is too.
I mean, he's not being held prisoner. And for 25 years, he allowed
his wife and his kid to think that he's been dead? That's a bad
guy. You think on that. I'll be inside. (goes inside)

Nadia walking up to Sloane sitting at his desk in his office.
Nadia: I need to speak with you.
Sloane: Of course, what is it?
Nadia: I wanted to tell you before you were notified through official
channels. I've been visiting Katya Derevco.
Sloane: Your aunt? (Nadia nods) And I assume it's not on official
business.
Nadia: No. It was personal. I thought Katya might be able to fill in
the blanks about my mother. Tell me who she was.
Sloane: I see. Well. . .thank you for telling me. Nadia? What did she
tell you? Nothing I didn't already know. That she was a criminal. A
murderer.
Sloane: (gets up) Sweetheart, no one is a single thing. Look, I
understood Irina. We were both cut from the same cloth. Both committed
to our work. And I suppose because of that, we both did some things
that are unforgivable. But, Nadia, Irina is also capable of having a
great capacity for love. I saw the way she looked at Sydney. The way
she held that child in her arms. And I am absolutely sure she felt the
same way about you. She searched for you Nadia. She may not be here to
answer your questions, but the one thing I know to be true- your mother
loved you.
Nadia: I'd like to believe that.
Sloane: Then do. (hugs Nadia)

Clerk: Of course. You have the service ticket?
Sydney: Nope, just the number. 112402.
Clerk: Give me just a moment. (goes to get box and places it on the
counter, opens box and pulls out a beautiful wooden music box) Quite
lovely, isn't it. Open it.

sitting at a desk. Vaughn walks up to him.
Vaughn: We're gonna do this my way. You want to pull this off, I'm

Sydney's apartment. Se's messing with the music box. The music is
playing. Red lights start flashing in box. Nadia walks in.
Nadia: You have a minute?
Sydney: Of course. (Quickly close the music box)
Nadia: I wanted to apologize about going to Katya. I should have told
you.
Sydney: You don't have to apologize.
Nadia: When I found out Arvin Sloane was my father, I was horrified. My
entire life, I wanted to meet my parents, and the truth was so . . .
ugly. But he's changed. There's good in him. I guess I was hoping
the same thing was true for our mother.
Sydney: I'm sorry.
Nadia: Me too.
Doorbell rings.
Nadia: That's Eric. We're going out for lunch. You want to come?
Sydney: No thanks. I'm just gonna hang out here.
Nadia: Okay.
Sydney: Have fun.
They smile at each other. Nadia leaves.

convoy. V uses blowtorch on underside of the convoy to make a hole.

and he goes unconscious. V and S enter the convoy through the hole.
Vehicles start moving again. V and S get to work cutting wires and

truth! I want to hear you say it! He's been dead all along!

Katya: The records exonerate Irina.
Sydney: Yes.
Katya: Sydney, whoever did this, for your mother, my sister, we have to
make it right. We have- You already know who it was.
Sydney: My mother traced the bank payments to their source. She
discovered who it was.
Katya: That case- Oh if I would have gotten the message in time. . .
Sydney: She would still be alive.
Katya: Who is it?
Sydney: Before I tell you, you must promise me Nadia can never know.

Marshall (just being Marshall): Your're probably gonna want to kill
me when I tell you this, but I ran some tests. (lifts folder in his
hands)
Jack: What kind of tests?
Marshall: You may be very sick, Mr Bristow. Now, you'll need
additional bloodwork to be sure-
Jack: I thought I made myself clear, Marshall. This is not something I
care to discuss.
Marshall: I understand. Just hear me out. You have a mutation.
Jack: Marshall, I've heard enough.
Marshall (urgently): Dammit, you may not care what happens to you, but
what happens to you affects other people. Sydney, for example. Have you
thought about that? You need to see a doctor, now!
Sloane (from behind): Is everything all right here?
Jack: We were just finishing up.
Marshall: Yeah, just finishing up. (takes one last look at Jack and

Sydney: Hi
They hug. She gives him a kiss on the cheek.
Vaughn: He's dead, Syd, my father. He's been dead all along. I
think. You know, I've- I've lived with his death for so long, I
would have done anything just to see him again. But then I realized
that my father, he would have never left my mom and me, not for
anything. The man I knew could never have walked away from the people
he loved.
Sydney: How did you know?
Vaughn: Cuz I couldn't either. (they smile at each other) It was
Sloane. I should have seen it all along. I swear to G-d, Syd, I am
gonna kill that son of a b****.

on his way to the DSR facility for analysis.

okay. He had his vest on. But you were right to be concerned.
Sloane: What about the DSR transport?
